Abstract
To observe the efficacy differences between electroacupuncture (EA) and physiotherapy (PT) on the proprioception of athletes with functional ankle instability (FAI). Methods: Fifty athletes with FAI were randomly divided into an EA group and a PT group. The EA group was treated with EA at Jiexi ST 41), Kunlun ( BL 60), uxu ( GB 40) and Ashi points, and the PT group was treated with low frequency electrical stimulation and infrared radiation at medial malleolus and lateral malleolus, thrice each week for consecutive 8 weeks. The joint position sense: active (JPSA), joint position sense: passive (JPSP) and Kinaesthesia (KT) were assessed at the ankle by use of Biodex System III isokinetic dynamometer to test the proprioception before and after the treatment.
